This year’s specialized course was evaluated as having contributed to enhancing agricultural competitiveness by focusing on key crop-specific technologies and strengthening on-site response capabilities.
A Cheongsong County official said, “Through this training, we have laid the foundation for farmers to prepare more systematically for farming in 2026,” adding, “We will continue to expand practical, field-oriented education to do our utmost to improve the practical benefits for farm households.”
